SubjectRequest for Protective Parliamentary Sponsorship – Abolfazl Doukht

BodyDear Honourable Alessandra Moretti, I am reaching out regarding the urgent case of Abolfazl Doukht, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case comes amid a concerning escalation in executions during ongoing unrest and conflict, often carried out under conditions of internet restrictions and communication blackouts. These measures significantly reduce transparency and limit international oversight at the most critical moments. Abolfazl Dokht, an 18-year-old footballer from Shaft (Bajarsar village), was arrested in Rasht on 19 Dey 1404 and transferred to Lakan Prison in Rasht. He is facing charges of war crimes. The European Parliament has recently taken firm positions in response to repression in Iran, including its January 2026 resolution and related measures. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and structured engagement is essential. In that context, I respectfully suggest: – Considering sponsorship of Abolfazl Doukht within a detainee advocacy framework to ensure sustained visibility – Raising this case with the EEAS and in parliamentary discussions – Supporting briefings or hearings with civil society representatives and legal experts on imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to similar cases where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are consistently monitored by elected officials, the international cost of proceeding with executions increases. Further verified reporting on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the urgency and irreversible consequences involved, timely and visible engagement could be critical. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectFollow-up to Parliament’s Iran Resolution – Urgent Case of Abolfazl Doukht

BodyDear Danuše Nerudová, I am writing to draw your urgent attention to the case of Abolfazl Doukht, who is currently at risk of execution in Iran. This case is unfolding amid a sharp escalation in executions during ongoing unrest and conflict, often carried out under conditions of internet restrictions and communication blackouts. These measures significantly reduce transparency and limit international oversight at the most critical moments. Abolfazl Dokht, an 18-year-old footballer from Shaft (Bajarsar village), was arrested in Rasht on 19 Dey 1404 and transferred to Lakan Prison in Rasht. He is facing charges of war crimes. In January 2026, the European Parliament took a strong position against repression in Iran, signaling that such violations will not go unanswered. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, continued and visible engagement is essential. I respectfully urge you to consider: – Publicly sponsoring Abolfazl Doukht within a political or detainee advocacy initiative – Raising this case in plenary, committee discussions, or with the EEAS – Supporting efforts to maintain visibility, including hearings with human rights defenders or affected families – Calling for an immediate halt to the execution and for full due process guarantees Further information on this case is available here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d When visibility is limited, international attention can be one of the few remaining safeguards against irreversible harm. Timely action in this case could be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen

SubjectTranslating Parliament’s Iran Position into Case-Based Protection – Abolfazl Doukht

BodyDear MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, I am writing to bring to your immediate attention the case of Abolfazl Doukht, who is reportedly facing execution in Iran. This case comes amid a concerning escalation in executions during ongoing unrest and conflict, often carried out under conditions of internet restrictions and communication blackouts. These measures significantly reduce transparency and limit international oversight at the most critical stages. Abolfazl Dokht, an 18-year-old footballer from Shaft (Bajarsar village), was arrested in Rasht on 19 Dey 1404 and transferred to Lakan Prison in Rasht. He is facing charges of war crimes. The European Parliament’s January 2026 resolution and related measures marked a clear escalation in the EU’s response to repression in Iran. At a time when visibility is being deliberately reduced, ensuring that individual cases receive sustained and visible attention is essential. In this regard, I respectfully urge you to consider: – Sponsoring Abolfazl Doukht as a detainee at risk of execution to ensure continuous visibility – Raising this case in parliamentary discussions and with EU foreign policy representatives – Supporting briefings or events with human rights defenders and experts monitoring imminent execution cases – Encouraging coordinated attention to named detainees at risk, particularly where executions may occur under restricted visibility When individual cases are visibly monitored by elected representatives, the level of international scrutiny increases, raising the cost of proceeding with executions. Additional reporting on this case can be found here: https://lookerstudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/71414769-37ca-4359-9e86-48c7c704da98/page/p_zkwf39o10d Given the irreversible nature of the death penalty, timely and visible engagement may be decisive. Sincerely, A concerned citizen
